Undead God: I Can Extract Everything

The attributes of the Strong Bear King could only be described as spectacular.

For the first time, Dean McKenzie truly felt the tremendous power of a level 20 Excellent Template BOSS.

With those attributes, Dean had no doubt that one Bear King could wipe out a whole forest inhabited by the Goblin Tribe.

After all, the King’s formidable defense, exceeding a hundred points, was not the same as Dean’s Bone Shield.

Its defense was fixed.

It wasn’t energy defense.

In other words, the defense of the Bone Shield was a numerical value; it would deduct a point for every strike received. Once depleted, the Bone Shield would shatter.

But the defense of the Bear King did not work that way.

If your attack did not exceed its defense limit, it would fail to inflict any harm.

So to speak, for a BOSS like the Bear King, the tactic of overwhelming with numbers wasn’t entirely useless but its efficacy was questionable.

Unfortunately for such a powerful bear king, his strength was formidable, but his luck was less than favorable.

Out of all creatures, he had to run into Dean McKenzie!

Facing the Bear King, Dean scornfully launched a Bone Fang at its chest.

As for Dean’s attack, the Bear King found it utterly contemptible.

A tiny toothpick-like Bone Fang, who could it possibly harm?

The Bear King, supremely confident in its own defense, didn’t even bother to dodge and met the attack head-on.

Then.

“Splurt!”

The Bone Fang pierced the Bear King’s chest. Although it didn’t go all the way through, it inflicted damage.

The sudden and unexpected severe pain forced the Bear King to roar in agony.

Dean had been waiting for this moment and took advantage of the opening. As the Bear King opened its mouth to roar, he shot another Bone Fang straight in.

The Bear King might have an extremely high defense, but its mouth was still soft.

Dean aimed diagonally upwards, causing the bone fang to burst through the Bear King’s mouth and penetrate its brain, hitting it hard.

[You successfully killed [Strong Bear King), gained 5000 experience points, and your level has increased to 14!]

In just two attacks, a terrifying Bear King fell before Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang.

As the Bear King collapsed, three lights burst from its body, and Dean’s face showed a look of hesitation and struggle.

Now he faced a dilemma.

What was he to do with the Bear King?

Should he extract the Template Fragment to prepare for his own Template’s upgrade to Excellent Quality, or should he use it as a biocatalyst for the second enhancement of the [Bone Shield]?

This was a slightly difficult question.

After a full second of indecision, Dean made up his mind!

“First strengthen the skills. The Template can wait. Even if I extract it, it will be just a fragment. Let’s first enhance the skills!”

While talking, Dean opened the Gate of Bone and activated the second enhancement for the [Bone Shield],

[You have initiated the second enhancement of [Bone Shield]. You have 5 minutes of enhancement time, please…]

At this moment, Dean couldn’t be bothered to listen to the system prompt.

With the start of the enhancement, Dean wasted no time in using extraction on the [Strong Bear King] before him.

[You successfully used Talent Extraction on the [Strong Bear King], gaining 1 point of Strength and one Defense Strengthen Essence (Excellent)!]

He rushed into the Land of Bone, and tossed out a Bone Fang with a flick of his hand.

At this point, all the monsters in the Land of Bone had already been lined up in a row to be dispensed with.

Dean shot out a Bone Fang, instantly piercing through a dozen monsters.

After one shot, Dean first extracted attributes.

Then he took another shot.

The second shot resulted in a level up, and his Mana was replenished.

With this strategy, Dean had cleared all the Elite monsters in two to three minutes and had basically finished extracting all the attributes.

With this method, Dean had managed the extraction without needing to consume much potion.

Throughout the process, Dean McKenzie’s system kept popping up with notifications.

[You’ve killed an[Elite Goblin] (Level 15) , 52 in total, gaining 10400 Experience Points!]

[You’ve killed an[Earth-armored Hog](Elite) 18 in total, gaining 1800 Experience Points!]

[You’ve killed an [Strong Bear] (Elite) 31 in total, gaining 31000 Experience Points!]

[Your Level has risen to 17, your Spiritual Power increased to 37.1, and your Mana limit has increased to 371!]

[You’ve gained a new enhancement slot!]

[Your Wraith Servants Doggy Two and Doggy Three’s Level have risen to 16, their Attributes have improved!]

[Your subordinate, Strong Grass, have risen to Level 15, its Attributes have improved!]

Hundreds of Elite Monsters, killed in one fell swoop, have raised the levels of Dean McKenzie and his aides by 3.4 levels.

However, what had Dean McKenzie frowning was that these hundreds of Elite Monsters only dropped less than one hundred glowing orbs.

He didn’t know if it’s because he leveled up quite a bit or if these monsters had been locked up for too long.

Regardless, judging by the number of glowing orbs, the gains had decreased by at least 50%.

As for how much exactly, Dean McKenzie didn’t have the time to bother figuring that out now.

[You are about to spend 204 Silver Coins, would you like to assign your remaining 102 Attribute Points to the[Bone Shield]?]

“Yes!”

[You spend 1010 Silver Coins to fuse 101 Elite Essence into the Skill Trait (Bone Hardening)!]

[You spend 100 Silver Coins to fuse[Defense Strengthen]Essence into the Skill Trait (Bone Hardening)!]

For the secondary enhancement of the Bone Shield, Dean McKenzie chose the most extreme method of levelling up attributes.

He invested all of the Essences into the (Bone Hardening) Trait!

Firstly, of all the hundreds of Essences, none were particularly suited to Bone Shield, and Dean McKenzie didn’t have the time to scrutinize them.

Secondly, having many talents in hand isn’t as good as focusing on one at hand!

It’s better to fully enhance just one Trait instead of working on several.

This was the quickest method to strengthen a skill in a short period of time.

And, as it turned out, Dean McKenzie’s approach proved to be effective.

[Your skill[Bone Shield]has completed its secondary enhancement!]

Skill: Bone Shield (secondary enhancement)

Level: 3 (0/1000)

Consumption: 100

Chant: With the Power of Death, forge an unyielding shield

Effect: Summon a Bone Shield with a Defense Rating of 2.4 times your Spirit plus 128, lasting 120 seconds

Invisible Shield: Your skeleton creates a constant Invisible Shield with a

Defense Rating of 128.

Skill Trait: Bone Hardening (Level 3) (Cannot exceed Skill Level)

Effect 1: Attacks below 128 points will not damage the Bone Shield (This effect applies to Invisible Shield)

Effect 2: Increase Defense by 500 points

Effect 3: Defense effect increases by 25% (This effect applies to Invisible Shield)

At the same time the Skill Enhanced, Dean McKenzie could clearly feel his defense greatly improving.

When he saw the attributes of his enhanced Bone Shield, even Dean McKenzie, the owner of the Skill, couldn’t help but take a sharp breath and exclaim, “This is insane!”

“Does this mean that any attack of 128 points or less can’t harm me now?”

This defense was even more outrageous than the previous bear king.

Although his Mana usage has increased five-fold, raising it to 100 points, Dean McKenzie was quite pleased and decided to try it out right away.

Looking at the three Bone Shields he had summoned, which were floating and rotating around him, Dean McKenzie’s face was full of unstoppable smiles: “This Skill is out of this world and I love it!”
